Rookie wide receiver Tank Dell, who has been quarterback C.J. Stroud’s favorite target in recent weeks, is reportedly out for the remainder of the year after fracturing his fibula on a goal-line play, per ESPN.

"If we were in a position where we were looking like a playoff team... getting ready for the first round of the playoffs would have been a no-brainer," Rodgers said Tuesday on the Pat McAfee Show. "Now without a timetable to come back, obviously we can be as smart as we need to be."
